TEAM AMAZING RACE

Adapted from the famous television series, this is a fun and exciting team activity where teams have to first work together to break the clues given to them and then search for some items, which may seem reasonable to certain people and unreasonable to others. The items may be in the form of things, animals or information. The idea is to see how the members coordinate themselves to achieve the ‘mission’ and their willingness to go the extra mile.
